Hello Everyone,

I am using (EE 1.6.9)  to create a database of Child Welfare information across the 50 US states. There are 12 issue areas for each state so I set up 12 weblogs and have assigned each states’ weblog entry the status of it’s name. So, in a weblog called “adoption” there is an entry for Texas with a status of “texas” and for Virginia with a status of “virginia” and similarly for all the other 11 weblogs.

I have templates for each state to show it’s specific information [http://site.com/texas/adoption] and a “main” template [http://site.com/main/adoption] to point search results to - filtered by the status.

What I am trying to do now is set up a form where - users can pick multiple states and be shown all the entries for a particular issue area. So, on the form if they multi-select Texas and Virginia and pick the “adoption” issue area and hit “Submit” they would see the
[http://site.com/main/adoption] page with only results from “texas and virginia”.

So essentially I am trying to pass the status variables to relevant page and do not know how to do that.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sol

Hi Sol,

You might want to take a look at the Super Search Module from Solspace (http://www.solspace.com/software/detail/super_search/).  I think it provides the functionality that you’re looking for.

Welcome to the forums, ingersol. Does Will’s reply make sense?

Thanks for the pointer to Super Search (and sorry for the delay in responding). I went ahead and purchased this. But I cannot figure out how to use it to do what I mentioned above. Can you please give me some pointers.

Thanks again- Sol

Hi Sol,

Solspace has excellent Documentation and Support Forums.  Those will be the best places to go for answers to your questions.

Hi, Sol. As Will mentioned (thanks for the assist, Will) Solspace will be the place to look for support. Unfortunately we can’t help. I’ve not used that particular offering. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
